Nichole C.
Companion
I’m originally from Detroit, Michigan. My family and I relocated to Ypsilanti, Michigan, when I was 16, and I’ve been residing here since. I have two daughters. I love cooking/learning new recipes, reading, swimming and watching Sci-fi television series in my free time. What attracted me to caregiving and companionship was my fondness of meeting new people—and my ability to lighten the senior community load with a hands-on approach. Being part of Care Management by Natalie has taught me the vast village it takes to help seniors navigate change in their physical and mental health. I also love the valuable part of learning wisdom, courage, hardships, and other lifelong learning experiences from our senior community.
